  Case: Am I a Boy or Girl?
We have student who is a girl. She dresses out in the girls locker and by every document she is classified as a female. Recently, she dropped the "f" bomb in class and I spoke with her about this behavior and how it is unacceptable and offensive. I told her that it sounds so trashy coming from a young lady's mouth. Her response to me was, "I am not a girl." A few days later, she turned in an excuse and where her mother had written "her" or "she", she crossed out and put "him" or "he". What are some suggestions on how to handle this? Because it is clear that her parents are unaware of this situation.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Guidance counselors are trained in this area. I would refer the student to the counselor to talk and let the counselor know what is happening.
